Biography

Jeanette joined Economics at Glasgow in 1987. She has held a range of posts and has degrees from the Universities of Strathclyde and Bristol.

Her research and publications focus on various areas of applied microeconomics including:

  • skills and education
  • gender and work
  • poverty and inequality
  • aspects of industrial economics such as regulation and competitive tendering.

Jeanette has published widely in academic journals in these areas as well as engaging with policymakers, trades unions and other stakeholders.

She have engaged in numerous funded consultancies from Scottish Government, local authorities, trades unions and TUC/STUC with measurable policy impact. She has a long track record of commissioned research in the financing and provision of life-line ferry services in Scotland and is currently editing a special issue of the Fraser of Allander Institute Economic Commentary which will bring together reflections on this issue, from a variety of perspectives, as we look towards a post-Brexit Scotland.

Jeanette was a member of the Panel of Experts in the Oxfam Humankind Index project which was formally launched in 2012 and is currently a member of the Scottish Living Wage steering committee providing academic expertise.
